Act of trust in God
S. Claudio La Colombière spiritual director of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
"My God, I'm so convinced that velais on those who trust in You
and that nothing may be lacking to those who expect everything from you,
determined to live for the future without any concern
You and unload on the weight of my care:
"In peace I lie down and sleep peaceful
because only you, Lord, you do me lie down in safety "(Psalm 4, 9).
Can men rob me of property and honor;
diseases can deprive me of forces and means to serve Thee;
I can even lose the grace by sin.
But they never lose is my hope;
I will keep it until the last breath of my life
although all the powers of hell shall strive in vain, boot ma.
"In peace I lie down and sleep peaceful."
Expect some happiness in their wealth and talents;
trust others in the innocence of his life,
the accuracy of their penance,
the number of its alms or the fervor of their prayers.
"Only You, Lord, you do me lie down in safety."
Lord, my trust is founded on this same confidence.
She never deceived anyone, "No one trusted the Lord and was confused" (Ecl.2, 11).
So, I'm sure I will be eternally happy
because I hope to be so firmly, and it is you, O my God, I hope that.
"In you, Lord, I take refuge, never be ashamed" (Sl.30, 2).
I know and know how I'm too fragile and fickle.
As they can not ignore the temptation against the strongest virtues;
I saw the stars fall from the sky and crashing down the pillars of the firmament;
but none of this scares me.
While waiting, I'll be the cover of all misfortunes;
and I'm sure to wait forever, because I hope to this unchanging hope.
Anyway, I'm sure is never too much everything you'd expect from you
and that can never be less than expected from you know.
Thus, I hope that you will have in my hand most impetuous inclinations,
I will defend the most violent assaults
and you shall succeed my weakness of my most formidable enemies.
I hope you'll love me forever and also I will love Thee unceasingly;
and to get my hopes up too far as it can go,
I hope for you yourselves, O my Creator, for time and eternity. Amen. "
Brothers, desprendamo us from ourselves
live the present moment, and trust in Jesus will live in peace!
My God, give:
My past to your mercy,
My gift to your love
My future in your providence.
The blessing of God Almighty and Provident,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit descend upon you and remain forever. - Amen.
